You can find the list of WADA prohibited substances on this page (Under the column on the right):

In S6 you can see:
“The following substances included in the 2009 Monitoring Program (bupropion, caffeine, phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, pipradol, pseudoephedrine, synephrine) are not considered as Prohibited Substances.”
While in S8 you see:
“Cannabinoids (e.g. hashish, marijuana) are prohibited.”

To go off at a (slight) tangent WADA & IOC drug policy bans drugs that would be detrimental to performance, its just a long list it doesn’t matter what sport you are practising.

This policy was instituted due to an episode at the 68 summer games. The East German, Soviet, and US men’s weightlifting teams had agreed to a shot/funnel/bong-pull medley before each attempt- just to keep things interesting.
Ha ha , yeah!
What I meant was that a rifle shooter would fail a drugs test for high amounts of caffeine (or even speed!) though it would negatively affect his performance, a boxer would fail if he took sedatives, again unlikey to help his performance.
